I haven't heard the "From the 21st" album yet, but other good places to start include the "Purposemaker" and "Other Day" CD compilations. The "Purposemaker" compilation is Mills in his tribal techno/housier mode. The "Other Day" comp is mostly techno oriented with a mix of both hard and ambient-ish tracks. All in all, two good places to start; you get some variety and it is much better than trying to hunt down the individual vinyl EPs. Other routes include getting his Tresor albums "Waveform Transmissions" vol. 1 and 3. However, IMHO and others, his sound has somewhat changed since they were released. BC
